The Hot Wheels Factory Experience opened at the FAO Schwarz location in New York. The experience consisted of a kiosk where the customer would go through four steps, choosing the model, choosing the color, choosing the engine, and finally choosing the tires. After the customer chose their options, a short 3d animation of the vehicle being assembled would play, and the physical car would come through a shoot to the customer along with a certificate. The only options that would change the physical vehicle are the model and color choice. Every vehicle available was a premium casting with an acrylic case. The experience opened in 2004 and continued until at least 2007. At opening, it only included the Ford Mustang GT Concept, Corvette C6, Hummer H2, and 1971 Camaro. In 2005, the Enzo Ferrari and Dodge Viper GTS were also made available.
